An un-boring weekend. Went to Chicago...saw the Blue Man Group...saw the Cirque du Soleil Varekai show...It really doesn't get any better than this....

Varekai! That's the same one I saw here in Philly! Cool! Did they have the guys flipping around all over the place and stuff?! (I don't think this is an appropriate sub-topic, however, for the Boring Thread)

Yes, they had guys flipping off of a swing set all over the place. One of the acrobats came close to cashing in his chips on that one. He landed on the tip of the swing in its up position slipped and fell to the floor. He nearly got creamed by the swing on its return trip. He just managed to jump to the side. Centimeters from oblivion. Pretty spectacular show. It is the fourth Cirque du Soleil show I've seen now. La Nouba in Orlando, Mystere in Las Vegas, a travelling show of Quidam in Michigan and the travelling show of Varekai in Chicago.

In about 3 weeks we are going to Columbus, OH to see the travelling Cirque du Soleil: Drallion show. Fifth show and the 3rd one this year. In order I'd rank them 1. La Nouba, 2. Quidam 3. Varekai and 4. Mystere but all of them were good.

Swiss independence day???
How do you name the date that Switzerland became independent ? I thought it was a process that took several hundred years and came in stages as they slowly repelled the Emperor of Austria?
